Some used-to-be Hollywood publicist is playing havoc with my mind.
First, he infiltrates my deepest fears by claiming Jake Gyllenhaal is gay, then he goes on to say the love of my life is expecting a baby with his boyfriend in a month!
Apparently, Jakey has been dating the same guy for years (although no one’s clear on who the mystery boyfriend is) and is preparing to come out “some time by the end of next month” so he can celebrate his new bundle of joy with a clear conscience. Read More »
We’re all guilty of picking up a Cosmo and perusing its pages, even if it’s just while standing in line at the grocery store (“I need to know the 834,394th hottest and steamiest sex tip!”).
But when you rrrrreally, rrrrreally read through the “journalism,” you realize just how fantastically talented these editors are at sending mixed messages left and right to their female readership.
By the last page, it’s like, actually insulting.
They obviously want to appear as though they represent for the ladies, but in reality, are they taking us ladies for fools?
Jezebel.com talks about the recent issue of Cosmo with J. Alba on the cover – and in this issue, they go from this:
Man Manual: What Will Really Impress Him, page 80
“Sure you’re sexy, smart, and fun..but so are a lot of other chicks. To really stand out from the pack, it helps to have that something extra — qualities that make a guy go ‘This girl is freakin’ awesome!’ You’ll be that much hotter to him if…”
Which is fine, I guess. If you like big paychecks and corporate sponsors.
Wentz, who’s certainly skinny enough to fit his entire body inside one leghole of my jeans, doesn’t exactly have what I’d call “a model face”.
He’s not fugly, but his Emo/Hipster vibe is so overpowering, it’s hard to look at him for long (unless, of course, you’re a blond girl who, once upon a time, lip synced on national television).
But then again, I could be wrong.
Maybe Wentz really will make a career out of flouncing his tattoos and bee-stung lips. He certainly has a lot of little fans—and everyone knows how persuasive those kids can be.
Yesterday, we showed a picture of Zac Efron on the cover of Rolling Stone and said he looked gay. How rude!
Which brings me to this: gay or not (but totally gay), girls recently have been going for guys just like Zac.
Why, you ask? Why on EARTH would a normal, man-loving woman want a guy like Zac Efron?
Seriously, why?
Well, it’s not just because they’re pretty. It’s because, and get this – lots of women say that these “FemiMen” make better long-term partners!
Dailymail said, “A study found ‘masculine’ looking men were judged to be less faithful and worse parents. Similarly, psychologists found men with feminine facial features are seen as more committed and less likely to cheat on their partners.”
Wow! More committed? How ever would we spot one of these diamonds in the rough?
So, basically, these studies are showing that women prefer guys who look more like girls – think “Metro,” but on a more scientific basis, of course. Read More »
Ahh, looks like Rolling Stone knows what the kids want! Even though Efron’s issue hits newsstands Friday, check out the high-res pic of Little Mr. Priss! Wow, he looks even more beautiful in sharp detail, huh?
Except, seriously, what a prude. He can’t just take the shirt off?
Zac Efron has fans. And some of them may have rabies.
Given the obscene amount of comments (perhaps the most CC has ever received on one article? At least with the most spelling mistakes) connected to my first blog about this 17-year-old sugar coated star, I’m a little afraid to have another go.
But what the hell. I’m a troublemaker.
According to half a dozen angry rants, I don’t know Zac at all, he’s an amazing actor, his body just oozes hotness, and anyone who comes close to insulting him is wasting the world’s time—because he is loved by all.
So here’s what I did. I held my breath, typed his name into Google, and ventured out onto the Internet Superhighway to find out about all things Efron. Would recent pictures prove to me that he is indeed hotter than the sun? After reading a few interviews, would I be convinced of his supposed saintly goodness? And would I ever find out who Vanessa Hudgens was?
I’ll tell you one thing, wax figure or not, Z. Efron has got more websites devoted to him than Jenna Jameson (approximately. I didn’t actually do the math). He has certifiably grabbed the Tween market in two well manicured hands, and as long as he’s attached to Disney and stays away from the coke, seems destined to make little girls weep from joy for years.
But as a 24-year-old woman, I still don’t get it. I just don’t. And you know what, I don’t think I’m supposed to. Read More »
I thought the writing was terrible, the songs were worse, and the acting was mind-numbingly bad. Granted, it was written for kids, and I guess it was fine for someone just wheening themselves off Sesame Street and the Disney Channel, but when it comes to the over-16 crowd who worship the movie, I just don’t understand.
Another thing I don’t understand is the magical pull of Zac Efron.
I mean, he kind of looks like he’s made of wax. A 12-year-old wax figurine. I know he’s almost 20, but he sure doesn’t look it, and if it wasn’t all over the place that he was dating what’s-her-name, I’d bet $100 dollars his ass was gay.
So why is he so famous? I think it’s the same reason Sanjaya and Clay Aiken (two boys who should just give up and step out of the closet) were /are so popular. Tween girls love guys who look harmless, sweet, and perfectly groomed. Read More »
